| additional remarks | The lecture gives a broad insight into the design fundamentals of modern tractors and emphasizes a high practical relevance. It deals with the historical development in tractor construction and shows functions and application limits of the machines. Both the overall concept and the individual components are covered. Economical aspects are discussed, general principles of product planning and project management are presented by using tractors as an example. The outer and inner mechanics of the whole vehicle are explained and the gear concepts including their design/dimensioning are dealt with. The design of typical drive elements, aspects between human beings and machinery (environmental factors, basics of industrial medicine, noise reduction) and the basics of tractor hydraulics including methods of industrial tests are explained and their use is shown by giving examples. Theoretical engineering fundamentals (e.g. gearbox calculations, tyre selection, steering geometry, power and traction requirements and ergonomic design principles for the driver) are applied in exercises, by calculation with formulas and equations with provided data sets. |
